All of the preset keymap styles of Mozc, command ''ToggleAlphanumericMode'' on ''Composition'' mode is assigned to {{ic|Eisu}} (Eisu_toggle), {{ic|Hiragana/Katakana}} or {{ic|Muhenkan}} key, but the ASCII keyboard has none of them.

One of the solution for it is to use CapsLock key as Eisu_toggle (Mozc does not recognize CapsLock key as of r124). The following is way to assign the Eisu_toggle to {{ic|CapsLock}} (without any modifier keys) and the Caps_Lock to {{ic|Shift+CapsLock}}, like OADG keyboard layout.

Mozc is a Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) designed for multi-platform such as Chromium OS, Windows, Mac and Linux. This open-source project originates from Google Japanese Input. Detailed differences between Mozc and Google Japanese Input are described in About Mozc (In short, Mozc does not have equivalent conversion quality to Google Japanese Input).

mozc-ut

mozc-ut can work with ibus-mozc, emacs-mozc and uim-mozc of vanilla mozc. That is, you don't have to build such as modules of mozc-ut by the use of unofficial user repository.

mozc-svn

mozc-svnAUR builds using the published svn repository instead of source tarball and can build uim-mozc and fcitx-mozc plugin. You should use vanilla mozc or mozc-ut unless you have any reason. This is exactly similar to mozc (published svn repository is not actually trunk) and run-time of makepkg of mozc-svn will be longer than mozc.

mozc.el provides "overlay" mode in the styles of showing candidates (from mozc r77) which shows a candidate window in box style close to the point. If you want to use it by default, add the following:

(setq mozc-candidate-style 'overlay)

C-\ (toggle-input-method) enables and disables use of mozc-mode.

Disabling XIM on Emacs

When you are using input method on your desktop and assigning activation/deactivation of input method to C-SPC, you will be not able to use C-SPC/C-@ as set-mark-command on Emacs. To avoid this problem, add the following into your ~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults. xim will be disabled on Emacs.

Emacs*UseXIM: false

Tips

Confirming Mozc version which you are using now

Type "ばーじょん" ("version") and convert it while activating Mozc. The version number of Mozc will be shown in the candidate list like follows:

Use CapsLock as Eisu_toggle key on ASCII layout keyboard

All of the preset keymap styles of Mozc, command ToggleAlphanumericMode on Composition mode is assigned to Eisu (Eisu_toggle), Hiragana/Katakana or Muhenkan key, but the ASCII keyboard has none of them.

One of the solution for it is to use CapsLock key as Eisu_toggle (Mozc does not recognize CapsLock key as of r124). The following is way to assign the Eisu_toggle to CapsLock (without any modifier keys) and the Caps_Lock to Shift+CapsLock, like OADG keyboard layout.
